Surgical masks reduce COVID-19 spread: study – Fox News

A new study that examined the effects of mask-wearing on the spread of COVID-19 found that even partial adoption helps to limit the spread.  The study, led by researchers at Stanford Medicine and Yale University, was a large-scale, randomized trial using 350,000 people from 600 villages in rural Bangladesh. Those living in villages were randomly assigned a number of interventions to promote the use of masks.  Researchers found that those living in the villages with such interventions were around 11% less likely to develop COVID-19 than those who did not. The effectiveness increased to nearly 35% for people over 60 years old, according to Stanford Medicine.  ABOUT 3 IN 4 PREGNANT WOMEN IN US UNVACCINATED AGAINST COVID-19 "Our study is the first randomized controlled trial exploring wh...

Pfizers RSV vaccine enters late-stage trial, company says – Fox News

Pharmaceutical company Pfizer announced on Thursday that its vaccine for the respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, has begun the third phase of its clinical trials among adults, which comes almost two weeks after the Food Drug Administration (FDA) has fully authorized Pfizer's SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19 vaccine. Phase 3 of the clinical trials prompted Pfizer to initiate RENOIR (RSV vaccine Efficacy study iN Older adults Immunized against RSV disease), which evaluates the efficacy, immunogenicity and safety of a single dose of its respiratory syncytial virus vaccine candidate in adults ages 60 years or older. RENOIR is expected to test around 30,000 participants over the age of 60 globally, says Pfizer. RSV, commonly mistaken for COVID-19 due to similarities in symptoms, is a common respirat...

One of them she believes is the Dragon Reborn, an entity that could be either the savior or destroyer of humanity. Amazon first announced it was working on a live-action adaptation of Robert Jordan’s 14-volume fantasy back in 2018, but like with the company’s other big-budget fantasy adaptation, filming w...
